Reflection:

I think I’d like to become an allergist. I love to work with experiments and try to find a cure for an allergen or virus. I think the study would be great. It has a great pay too, I think I’ll take a look at it, see if my interest really are flared up by it. Seems like a job I would most likely take up.
